Construction begins on new northwest Knoxville shopping center

The Grassy Creek Shopping Center will be at the intersection of Schaad Road and Oak Ridge Highway

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — At the intersection between Oak Ridge Highway and Schaad Road, there is only a ditch and a few houses. Soon, that will change.

The Maddox company, a Knoxville real estate firm, plans to build a shopping center at the intersection. The Grassy Creek Shopping Center will link West Knoxville and I-40 with North Knoxville and I-75, according to Maddox's website.

The company also said that construction will begin immediately and that the Food City location should open its doors in Fall 2020.
